Restrict Audio Clip progress bar in Rise 360
I have inserted an "audio clip" in my Rise 360 section. When the user clicks the audio play icon, it starts a 50 second audio clip. It shows the progress bar as it plays; however, the learner can click on and drag the progress marker to the right basically fast forwarding (essentially, skipping the audio clip). How can I force learner to listen to the entire 50 second clip (not allowing to scroll past timeline) (I do have a Continue button stating user much complete block above) Cheers.

Hi Randy,
We've requested this feature of having the option to disable forward-seeking for audio. We don't have an update yet, but I will reach out on this post if we have more news to share about this feature.
I've seen some clients being able to work around this by converting the audio into a video file (sans the video) and uploading it as a Video block. Another option is to add the audio in a Storyline slide to embed in your Rise course. Then you can add the Continue block to make sure your users will complete it first.
Hi Randy! Any news on this feature? Thanks

Hi! Still no news? Thanks
+1 vote for being able to restrict audio blocks in Rise 360. Following this thread. Also, an option to enable audio and video blocks to play automatically would be great, and would open up the option of using Rise more often, as we could basically have a voiceover on the course that the learner would be forced to listen to.
I tried the suggestion of exporting my audio file as a video, I used the exact hex code of my block background in my video background and exported in high quality, and it looks mismatched, so not very nice. Not sure if our client will be happy with it. See screenshot attached.
I agree - I also vote to be able to restrict audio blocks in Rise 360 as well as having the ability to set the audio and videos to play automatically.
You can use this method if you actually need a solution today. My roadmap has a fast lane.

Hi Phil! Just used your trick! I can have it work but as soon as I leave the preview mode and go back to edit and then preview, I can click again on the cursor.. :( What would you do? Thanks
You will need to add this css to the exported course, some tricks involving the text editor can be saved in Rise itself but this one needs to be added as a 'theme component' to the exported files.
awesome - thank you so much for taking the time to answer so quickly!

This is wonderful news! Thank you, LucianaPiazza!
LucianaPiazza Are there plans to extend this feature to other block types that include audio (e.g., text blocks, accordions, tabs, etc.)? While this update is great for audio blocks, it doesn't address the same issue in other block types.
So glad to hear your excitement regarding this latest Rise 360 update, Ciera-Fluker!
While I don't have any updates to share regarding this feature being included in other blocks, I've shared your insight with our product team. I understand how this would be helpful to your workflow when working with other blocks in Rise. We'll be sure to share future updates in this thread so all are in the loop!
Thanks for helping make Rise 360 even better!
